>> welcome to "cbs this morning." norah is off. good morning, gayle. a busy friday. >> very busy. >> a major highway knocked out in washington state. no one killed. but it comes at the worst possible time for holiday travelers. >> collapse is paralyzing interstate 5. the highway runs more than 1,300 miles from canada to mexico. 70,000 cars a day cross the bridge over the skagit river. last night, some of those cars plunged into the water. >> good morning to our viewers here in the west. one of the biggest interstates in the state is underwater right now. and the one question everyone is wondering is how could this happen? the four-line bridge collapsed around 7:00 in the evening local time. dumping people into the river. >> close the air.

riverside bridge over i-5 just collapsed. we have vehicles in the water. >> copy. all local cars cleared for emergency traffic. >> reporter: an oversized truck slammed into the bridge shortly before the collapse, possibly weakening the structure. >> hit the bridge, three or five feet wider than the bridge. we went right over with the bridge. >> reporter: rescue teams on hovercrafts pulled people who suffered minor injuries. fortunately, no one died. the i-5 bridge was considered functionally on functionally obsolete before the accidents and had a sufficiency rating below the statewide average. one in nine of the nation's bridges are structurally deficient, making this a small example of a much bigger problem. >> we have some work to do on bridges, whether or not this accident happened. and we have some discussions in

olympia about making sure we make investments in bridges to prevent this kin of thing from happening. >> reporter: they've called off search and rescue and are making adjustments for the busy holiday weekend. ntsb will be on scene before noon today to investigate. take a look at the video a flight made an emergency return to london's heathrow airport. the troubled engine, video was shot. people got out by going down emergency slides. everybody did get out okay, but so far, we do not know what caused this scare. also in london, we're getting a look at the confrontation between thekiller soldier and police. we are in london with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, british police have widened the investigation into this murder. they are questioning a man and woman in connection with the killing. of course, this is in addition

to the arrests of two men suspected of killing the british soldier. lee rigby survived a tour of afghanistan, only to be murdered on the street in london. he was 25 years old the father of a 2-year-old boy, a drummer in the army. today, his family paid tribute to a man who only ever wanted to be a soldier. >> your hurt is over, and our family chain is broken, and nothing is the same. we will chain the link again. >> reporter: new video emerged of the murder suspect's dramatic confrontation with police. shots and screams as the two men charge toward a police car of armed officers. police opened fire, and the first suspect falls to the ground.

the other man apparently raises a handgun. more shots fired, and he drops to the ground too. >> we must -- >> reporter: the suspects identified as 24-year-old michael adebolajo, and another man. the older man converted to islam. this shows him with an islamic preacher, who fell short of condemning the killing. >> so many people are being killed by drones. the first thing we should condemn is foreign policy. >> reporter: this previously unseen video of the younger man at ani islamic rally outside th embassy in london. people by the hundreds laying flowers along the barracks where lee ribby lived and die. londoners try to come to terms with the savage attack on the

streets. both suspects british citizens, recovering from gunshot wounds. the big question people are asking, were these guys known by british intelligence so long, why wasn't nor more done to prevent in murder. john miller, former assistant fbi director. good morning. >> good morning. >> what is the latest on the investigation? >> they are going through largely what we went through with the boston marathon. which is who are these two guys? part of a cell or on their own? if they are part of a cell, is it part of a wider network? they need to know the answers to know if there isn't something else coming behind this. that's what they are working through. two additional searches yesterday. two searches of the suspects' residences and so on. we're doing the same thing and what i learned yesterday from my sources, neither one of these you goes had been to theiate according to our records.

>> is this new kind of attack, though? >> we've never seen anything like this before in this combination. which is first the terrorist attack, the running down with a car, the attacking the soldier. of public spectacle and then the spontaneous communique. not a video to youtube. saying it out there on camera at the scene. issuing their statement. then you have a very odd combination, which is you have the police response. so what they have done, set up the body of this soldier as what we call a come on. something that they know the police will respond to, and they wait there, and when the police come, one of these guys charges with a knife, tries to martyr himself, the other man is trying to move along the wall with a gun. >> so grewsome, graphic.

it seems to take the armed police a while to get there. they are not armed. >> they are going to have to look at two things here, gayle. one is the immediate. they get the call, a four-minute lag before they find an armed unit to respond and ten minutes before they get there. 14 minutes in an incident like this is a lifetime. usually suspects won't wait for you to get there. the wider picture, as charlie framed it, what about that earlier investigation? what put them on these guys, why didn't it go further? the same kinds of things they are going through in the boston case. a lot of heartache in oklahoma today. the young victims of oklahoma's tornado are being victimed many but one survivor is surviving the odds. vinita nair is in moore. >> reporter: a massive memorial for all 24 victims. but already, individual families

are starting to say good-byes. nearly a week since the city of moore had a good day, and yesterday was no exception. 9-year-old antonia candelaria was laid to rest, the first funeral for schoolchildren laid to rest. and thunderstorms put the cleanup effort on hold. skies cleared in time for an emotional reunion. students talked with classmates and teachers for the first time since the twister. their parents still don't know what to say. >> she shielded her own body to protect my daughter. you know, i'm never going to have anything -- any words to repay her for what she did. >> reporter: sitting in a hospital bed with a fractured sternum and spine, jennifer doane was noticeably absent. >> i wanted to be there for them. just wanted to be there for them and for my parents that i know

are there. >> we spoke with jennifer the day after the tornado, when doctors thought she may never walk again. wednesday, she defied the odds and took her first steps. you got a chance to go up and down the hall? >> uh-huh. the whole ways. up and down. back here. >> reporter: i know that obviously there is still a long road to go, but did you feel like that was the biggest hurdle right now? >> it was. it was a big step. >> reporter: in the wake of so much destruction, we have a little bit of good news to share with you. jennifer's fiance got in touch with me late yesterday, they have been leased from the hospital. she has a lot of rehab ahead of her, both physical and mental, and as for that uncomfortable brace, it looks like she will wear it at least the next three months. charlie, gayle. >> vinitia, thank you. the manager at the center of

the irs scandal is being replaced. lois lerner is the target of conservative groups. she said she did nothing wrong and invoked the amendment. according to senator chuck grassley, lerner was asked to resign, but refused. she is on paid administrative leave. president obama laid the ground work for a shift on gaughan t fighting terrorism. bob schieffer, chief washington correspond sxeent and host of " the nation." a major speech defining the nature of war, the nature of terrorism and what tactics will be, who does what? the cia or military. what is your take? >> i think that's right. that's what this is. this is a realignment of forces. it is a redrawing of strategy, how we will confront terrorism, the president said yesterday in the quote, everybody speaking up

this war, like all wars, must end, but you just cannot declare this war is over. it takes two to tango, as it were. the war will be over when the terrorists stop attacking us, and i think the government has to be very careful this is not misread by those on the other side. this does not mean we will quit tracking down terrorists or anything like that kin of thing or confronting them when we find them. we'll bring a large force of people home from afghanistan and use resources in a different way. it will be a lot of controversy about this, charlie. a lot of republicans will say this is premature, not over, and will be misunderstood. this was the speech that was long time coming and we have something of the president's vision of where we go and how we go from here. >> the president said yesterday, he wants to protect journalists

from the government overreach and news that attorney general eric holder signed off on allowing investigation into some reporters' e-mails. is that an awkward position? >> i think what's interesting here, the president wants attorney general holder to be the one who does this review about protecting reporters' rights and all of that, when it was the justice department that caused all this controversy. i mean, the president saying he wants to review this and wants to protect reporters' sources, a lot of journalistic organizations and people who run them will view this with skepticism. go back to the old ronald reagan trust, but verify. the last time they introduced a shield law, it was the president in this administration that watered it down. and it just laid there, nothing ever happened. they will reintroduce the same legislation, but i think a lot

of people are just waiting to see how serious the president is about this. because there is no question in the minds of many journalistic organizations, and there is no question in my mind this was an outrageous overreach when they subpoenaed all the records at the associated press and some other incidences. >> have a great memorial day weekend, even though you will working on sunday i assume. >> i will. >> this sunday, mary fallin, tom corbin of oklahoma and chuck schumer, this sunday right here on cbs. check local lists. the boy scouts of america will allow openly gay boys to join. more than 60% voted to approve the change, it begins next year, manuel bojorquez shows us the reaction to this historical decision. >> reporter: the lanmark decision at the nation's leading

news organization means gay scouts like 16-year-old pass quell tessier can live openly. >> i can get my eagle, go home, tell everyone at home that i can go to camp with them. >> reporter: 1,400 boy scout leaders gathered in texas for a secret ballot. 61% of them voted to end the controversial ban. >> a very difficult decision for a lot of people. but we're moving forward together. >> reporter: the policy change comes as public opinion on the issue appeared to be shifting. even president obama weighed in on the high-profile battle. in an interview with scott pelley earlier this year. >> should scouting be open to gays? >> yes. >> why so? >> my attitude, gays and lesbians should have access and opportunities the same way everybody else does. >> reporter: conservative cri c critics slammed the scout's decision, saying homosexuality

is not come patable with the organization's values. some predicted a mass exodus. >> this is the last time i wear this uniform publicly. i'm not leaving scouting, scouting has left us. >> reporter: gay rights groups have work to do. the ban on adult gay leaders in place. >> so much more to do. i'm not stopping. that's for sure. >> reporter: for cbs this morning, manuel bojorquez, grapevine, texas. magnitude 5.7 quake hit california last night, centered north of sacramento. jolt felt all the way to the san francisco bay area. minor damage, no reports of injuries. >> this time to show you this morning's headlines around the globe, "the new york times" looks at another change. the obama administration fights terror. after 9/11, the cia resembled paramilitary or operation that

included drone strikes, the agency will return to its roots, focus on spying and analysis. >> new home prices have hit record highs. sales rose to the second highest level since the summer of 2008. median price, 271, $600. >> computer hackers in iran wramping up attacks on american companies. officials in the united states are said to be alarmed. >> new jersey's star ledger says the jersey shore will be open for summer. bu but a new report finds that hurricanes stripped beaches of sand. several beaches sit at a lower elevation. also in the northeast this morning, serious flooding from a slow-moving storm. roads in new york and new jersey under water. flood warnings and watches from new york to new england. the wet weather expected to stick around through tomorrow

let's first day a look at the numbers. from noaa, released in the last 24 hours. a typical season, maybe 12 named storms, six hurricanes, three major. quite a big range, but all of them indicating above-normal activity. calling for 13 as up to as many as 20 storms, 7 to 11 hurricanes and three to six could be major hurricanes. a lot of factors involved. and one of the big ones, water temperatures, above normal in the main development region, between the african coastline and eastern caribbean sea, and the other factor to consider, we're not expecting an el nino. it would suppress hurricane activity. right now, slightly cooler ocean water in the pacific. it is possible as we get into the heart of the hurricane season, we might have a weak la nina. what does that mean?

it generally means a strong upper high in the north atlantic. stronger east winds and the result of that is to reduced wind shear. bad for hurricanes, and that means increased hurricane activity. right now, everybody from maine to the texas coastline needs to get the hurricane plan ready, could be another busy summer. >> thank you very much. and bryan walsh, welcome back. >> thank you. >> how concerned should we be about the forecast? >> should be pretty concerned. we are looking at as many as 20 storms. certainly looking at a season very busines very busy season. one that cause damage, the one that hit florida, east coast coastline. >> and many causes, is climate change one of them? >> it is one of them?

it really does make these storms stronger and more frequent. previous guests mention that water temperatures increasing, that's fuel for hurricanes. warmer ocean temperatures, warm, moist air, and stronger storms. >> everyone dealing in oklahoma with the tornado, the last thing you want to hear about hurricanes. can you describe the difference between the two? >> tornadoes occur over land. when cold air meets warm, moist air. the midwest part of the country. a very fast moving and very fast forming storm. hurricanes, slow moving, form in the atlantic ocean. you can see them coming a long ways away. tornadoes, may only get 15, 16 minutes of warning, with hurricanes, days of warning and have a go ahead sense od sense will hit. >> have scientists created better model to predict

hurricanes? >> we use weather satellites to track hurricanes. with sandy, we saw it all the way up the east coast to probability where it would make landfall. that's one of the reasons why death toll is much lower than it used to be. >> should we be concerned about weather satellites that failed? >> one that goes east, goes west, does the work. right before sandy, we lost one of the satellites. we have another to do the work. we don't want to lose a satellite before we go into a busy hurricane season. >> thank you. >> the big news, the jersey shore is reopening. and do you think they are ready for the financial impact? >> i would worry about that. hurricane sandy cost over $50 billion. we're not ready for a season of that magnitude again. >> thank you, again. across the country, search and rescue teams being called

out more often. but people acting recklessly. some people think taxpayers are the real victims. >> reporter: a tense drama that captivated southern california. nick cendoya and kendall jack set out on a hike and soon got lost. 160,000 was spent combing the mountains of orange county. >> i saw the palm of her hands waving through a bush. >> it must have been a huge relief. >> about the best thing i can remember seeing in a long time. >> after a seemingly happy ending. a troubling explanation for why they got lost in the first place. >> reported to me that both nick and ms. jack were engaged in the use of drugs. >> cendoya charged with felony drug possession after methamphetamine found in his car that news caused outrage, not

just because of the cost, but because two rescuers seriously injured. >> i fell 110 feet, i bounced off the wall twice and came to a stop. i immediately knew i broke my back. >> orange county politicians are asking the state of california to pass a law, allowing local cities and counties to send a bill to people whose reckless acts result in a costly rescue. >> this is an education tool to help people think twice before they do something that honestly is down right stupid. >> reporter: california would be the eighth state with search and rescue cost recovery statutes. but these laws could have unwanted side affects. >> we don't want to see people charged for rescue, because it will inevitably lead to someone delaying the request to rescue a loved one. that will cost lives, without a doubt. >> a spike in rescue calls in southern california. in 2012, 560 rescues, up 10%

from the year before. and it's not just hikers. more amateur athletes attempting extreme sports, leading to rescues of everyone from offtrail skiers to inexperienced cliff climbers. >> social media plays a huge role. people go up to the areas, do extreme activities, film it, and then post it on youtube, facebook. >> and that makes other people want to replicate it. >> they want to do the same thing because they think it looks like fun. >> the cost could range from a thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. but ultimately taxpayers come to the rescue. there will likely be a cap on any recovery amount. carter evans, los angeles. >> i think that is a good point. let's people think about doing something foolish, because fun on youtube is not the same. >> especially if it directly puts other people's lives in

are, the more deer ticks, the greater risk of lyme disease. >> do all deer ticks result in lyme disease? >> that is false. only one out of every four or five black leg tick, the type that carry lyme, will transmit it. it has to be attached more than 24 hours to transmit the disease. if you catch it in time, rumor likely not to get it. >> do all cases involve the bull's-eye rash. >> 80% to 90% have the rash. ticks attach in areas we don't always look, like the armpits, behind the knee, in the groin, attach in these dark hiding places, so that's where the rash is, and you might miss the tick and the rash. >> can your pet give you lyme disease? >> your pet cannot, but a dog or cat that goes outside and comes

in, can carry the tick in, which then gives you lyme disease. >> check your pet too. >> absolutely. medication and collars that can help prevent ticks from attacking to pets. >> once you get it, you always have it? >> that's mostly false. i will say mostly, because when lyme disease is caught early, treated very well and easily with antibiotics. in 10% to 20% of cases, people get chronic lyme disease, where we see neurologic problems, heart problems, joint pain, most cases are also treated easily with antibiotics, but there have been situations where people report life-long symptosymptoms. >> the most important question, if you see the tick what do you do? >> my mother -- my grandmother said to burn it off. but she was wrong. take the tweezers and pull it off. >> did you tell she the wrong? >> absolutely not. i would never let her know that.

it's 8:00 a.m. in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." a bridge collapses along interstate 5 north of seattle. cars plunge into the river. people have to be rescued. and now holiday drivers face a freeway closure. smoke streams out of a jetliner over london forcing an emergency landing and gridlock at one of the world's busiest airports. and we were there as a tornado victim pulls her dog from the ruins of her home in oklahoma. we'll see how they're doing this morning as viewers pitch in to help. first we take a look at today's "eye opener at 8." >> one of the biggest interstates in the state is under water right now. and the one question everyone's wondering is how could this happen? >> the collapse of a bridge in

washington state has knocked out a major highway. no one was killed. >> a big puff of dust. i hit the brakes, the weight of the trailer and everything else, we went right off the bridge into the skagit river. smoke pouring out of a british airways flight. it had to make an emergency landing at heathrow airport. everybody did get out okay, but so far we do not know what caused the scare. the big question people here are asking is if they're known for british intelligence for so long, why haven't more done to prevent this murder? >> who are these two guys? are they part of a cell, or are they on their own? there will be a massive memorial for all 24 of the victims this weekend, but already the individual families are starting to say their good-byes. >> everybody from maine to the texas coastline need to get their hurricane plan ready. it could be another busy summer. you just cannot declare this war is over. it takes two to tango, as it were. the war will be over when the terrorists stop attacking us.

facing criticism for building many of its products overseas. apple is opening a new computer factory in texas. when they heard that, people in china were, like, cool, never been to texas. i'm charlie rose with gayle king. norah is off getting well-deserved rest. one of the most important highways in the northwest is at a standstill this morning. >> that's because a bridge collapsed last night about 60 miles north of seattle. the skagit river bridge is part of i-5 which carries most of the traffic along the west coast. henry rossup of our seattle affiliate kiro is in mt. vernon, washington. >> reporter: the most amazing thing about the bridge wreckage behind me is that not one person perished when the structure came down last night. the 58-year-old bridge was already considered functionally obsolete according to federal standards before witnesses reported seeing a large oversized truck hit the side of the bridge shortly before it

came down. people plunging into the freezing waters of the river as thousands gathered. rescue teams scrambled to the scene. hovercrafts were sent to assist in the successful rescue of three individuals who were taken to area hospitals with only minor injuries. ntsb officials will be on the scene later today to examine the bridge and determine exactly how it came down. but the immediate concern is for the holiday weekend traffic. this is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the country, severing as the main artery between seattle and vancouver. for "cbs this morning," henry rossoff in burlington, washington. a frightening scene this morning in the skies over london. heathrow briefly shut down because of an emergency landing. a jet had to return after takeoff. mark phillips is in london. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie, gayle. well, this story has a happy ending, but for a long and anxious time to the people on board this plane, it didn't look that way. look at this. here's what you don't want to see when you look out the window

of your aircraft. this is a shot of the plane taken from the ground. you can see smoke coming out of the right-hand engine which passengers on board said was on fire. the shot repeats for several times. it's a shot taken out of the window from the inside of the aircraft of the left-hand engine. there it is, which shows the cowling blown right off the engine. another eyewitness on board said the cowling on the other engine had gone, too. the plane had just left london heading for oslo when the incident happened. it turned around and headed back in for an emergency landing. the whole airport was shut down when it happened. the landing was successful, ordinary. the passengers' emergency chutes were deployed, and all 75 people on board, passenger and crew, got off. the airport is being gradually reopened although a lot of the flights are still delayed. a harrowing morning, but in the end, a safe one for the 75 people on that plane. >> mark phillips, thank you. authorities in britain are

on the lookout for more violence after wednesday's gruesome murder of a british soldier in broad daylight on the streets. two more suspects in the case were arrested yesterday. britain's government calls the killing an apparent terror attack. the murdered soldier has been identified as lee rigby, 25 years old, and the father of a young son. he fought in afghanistan as a machine gunner. rigby was also a drummer in the ceremonial army band. the fate of convicted murderer jodi arias may take several more months to decide. a jury deadlocked yesterday on whether to give arias the death penalty or life in prison. she was convicted earlier this month of killing her former boyfriend. lawyers and the judge will meet next month to see if another jury will be seated to consider execution. memorial day weekend unofficially kicks off summer, and it may be the most important summer ever on the new jersey shore, which is rebuilding after superstorm sandy. katherine brown of wcbs is in seaside heights where people looking forward to another busy

summer on the boardwalk. >> reporter: there is so much excitement here this morning. people started coming down as early as 4:00 in the morning just to get a spot to be able to hold this ribbon and be a part of history. the ribbon will stretch for five miles. they're scheduled to cut it at 9:30 this morning. new jersey sustained nearly $40 billion worth of damage when superstorm sandy hit last october, leaving nearly 400,000 homes and apartments in ruins. restoring the shore is critical to this state as tourism brings in more than $45 billion a year. business owners and town leaders are working to make sure residents and visitors can not only come back to the shore but also that they can enjoy the same beach and the boardwalk they're used to. president obama is scheduled to come down and tour the shore on tuesday with governor christie. it marks the first time he'll come to this area since just after sandy hit. for "cbs this morning," katherine brown in seaside heights. also in new jersey, some tgi

friday's customers may not feel so thankful. investigators accuse some restaurants of cheating people who thought they were buying premium alcohol, they were getting cheap whiskey, rubbing alcohol or water. >> that can't be good. the year-long investigation was called "operation swill." officials raided 29 bars and restaurants on thursday. 13 were tgi friday's opened by the briad group. it's america's largest tgi friday's operator. the president of the company said in a statement, quote, we consider the alleged allegations to be very disturbing. if accurate, they would represent a violation of our company's values and our extensive bar and beverage standards. all this week we've shown you the reunion of a tornado survivor and her dog, bowser. it happened in front of our cameras. >> it sure did. it touched many of our viewers who want to help. anna werner has an update on the story she reported first on "cbs this morning." >> reporter: when we first met barbara garcia a couple of hours after the tornado ripped through her neighborhood, she was

searching through what was left of her home looking for her dog named bowser. >> so i know he's in here somewhere. >> reporter: she told us she didn't think he had made it. but moments later -- >> the dog. the dog. >> reporter: that's our cbs producer who spotted something, something moving under all that rubble. >> oh, oh, oh. >> reporter: and now? so great to see you. she has some bruises. >> it was still bleeding yesterday. >> reporter: her home and possessions are gone. but she has the thing she wanted most. >> all of the other things, you know, one by one, they can be replaced. a lot of it wasn't even important. but i couldn't replace him. >> reporter: after it aired on cbs news, barbara and bowser's story went viral. to date it's been viewed over 500,000 times on youtube alone. her own granddaughter, brooklyn bernie, found out about it from a friend on facebook.

>> like everyone else, i cried. >> reporter: you cried. >> i cried. >> reporter: why? >> because everybody else can see the real her. >> reporter: people like colleen and stan rothschild of plano, texas. >> stan and i both have, you know, mothers that are widowers. they live alone. and it just, you know, touched us. >> reporter: they and others e-mailed us asking how they could help barbara and her dog. aaron set up an account to raise money on a site called gofundme.com. >> you know, i was just so moved by barbara, i was really just compelled personally to do something. >> reporter: in 24 hours, she says, the site gathered over $1500 in donations. for barbara, who had no homeowners insurance, it's all almost too much. >> i didn't know i was that important. i really and truly, i didn't. i just thank everybody.

>> reporter: for "cbs this morning," anna werner, moore, oklahoma. >> i can't get enough of that story. and what touches us, actually we got to see it when she was capping and how she called him bowsie. you can tell there's a connection. >> it really says how important it is elderly citizens living alone to have a companion. >> that's so true. in anna's piece said 500,000, but our media team says it's now up to 4 million when you look at all the social media platforms. close to 4 million people have gone on to find out what happened to them. we're glad to tell you

what's in that water. some of them are flavored with sugar. >> but most of it, you think flavored water is really a form of soda. >> in many cases it is. >> explain. >> well, some of these waters, they look like water and they have sugar added in which case it's calories. it's soda. but the scary part is they think it's healthy, and they think it's water. >> now, some waters are flavored with natural flavorings like some those flavored selzers which are great and some waters are flavored with artificial sweeteners that you really want to think twice before you give these waters to your children. >> coca-cola which has a waterline, as you know, denies claims that the sweetened beverages increase your appetite or cause you to gain weight. yo your response to that is what? >> not necessarily so. i think it depends. sweetened beverages can cause you to gainweight if you drink them regularly and often. there's a health halo surrounding these healthy terms where you think something is

healthy like water all natural, so you drink or eat more of them. >> stuart, from an advertising standpoint, what makes flavored water an increasing part of their product mix? >> well, consumers do want to change. a lot of consumers do want to change. they feel they need to eat healthier, drink healthier. there's an old expression, brushing your teeth with a candy bar. they really want -- they feel the need to change. they don't know quite what to do. some of the companies are capitalizing on that and marketing them with the same amount of money and the same fire power and creative tactics that they would use to sell soft drinks. >> but the idea is to think -- have you believe what? >> they want you to believe that you're drinking something healthier than you used to drink. in some cases that may be true. in some cases it may be, if you'll pardon the expression, a wash. and in some cases it may be

worse. yes? >> i think it could be because when you drink soda, you know you're drinking soda and you know you're getting sugar, but when you're drinking this healthy sounding water, you don't realize that you may be getting a lot of sugar. >> and they use phrases like "natural"e ed ttoo. >> what are the ways they enhance it? >> i love the taste of regular water. if you don't love the taste, you can put a splash of cucumber, selzers, flavored selzer, lemon, you can even, charlie, put even an ounce of juice in a selzer, some orange juice. it will give you some flavor and you know you might have a little bit of juice but not a lot of added sugar shoo is your message read the labels when you're getting this water? don't think it's necessarily healthy, bottom line? >> yes, absolutely. >> drinking a lot of water is for you.

because it's a piece of americana. >> an iconic show. with you. >> what's the tone? >> were you worried about taking on a show that is so iconic and so well known? >> no, ma'am. >> because why? where does that confidence come from? >> well, it's not confidence. >> what is it? >> anything that i do, it's going to be germane to me. >> true. >> and so i'm confident in myself. because like i said to other people, i can't save a life. i'm not a firefighter. i'm not a doctor. i'm not an architect. i can't build something. but i can make stuff up on the fly. and i'm comfortable being me. so those two things give me the freedom to just walk into a situation and go, okay, let's go. >> you are very good at improv, wayne. i've seen you. i remember the show you and drew carey used to do. and i think it takes such a skill to be good at improv. but you sing, you dance, you act. so as a little kid, were you just a talented little boy? >> no, the kid that does improv is the kid who sits at home,

reads a lot, watches a lot of pbs, so i learned a lot. wasn't the class clown. >> you weren't the class clown. >> that's the question i get. >> i assumed you were. >> no. think about it. >> what? >> the argument i use is the class clown is the idiot that jumps up in back to get attention. it's not the kid who's bright enough to be able to pull these things out to think on his feet and be an actor. >> help me understand this. there was a thing with you and bill maher. i heard something about you being accused of not being black enough. i was accused of that, too, when i was a little kid. you talk like a white girl. you're not black enough. you're like an oreo cookie. what does that mean? >> just to clear up both sides of it. there's nothing between us. bill maher paraphrasing basically said to president obama that the way that you're handling your international policy, i wish that you would handle it more like a real black man and not the black man like wayne brady. the last time i checked, there

was no gradation system for being a black man, nor a man. >> yes. >> so bill, who is an amazing chick and a very successful man and last time i checked, a self-professed liberal, says that he wants his stereotypical vision of his brother who maybe is in jail bench pressing 350 says i'm going to go overseas, and i'm going to kick me some ass. that's in his mind who the dude to go deal with this. and i say okay, that's a cool cartoon stereotype, but being black, it's many things. just like being white or being asian. it's many, many things. and so to use me as the face of not black enough coming from the older very pale white man pissed me off, if i can say that. and so i had to speak on that. >> so when are you and bill going to lunch? >> i would take bill maher to

lunch any day of the week. like i said, pre that statement, i had been a big bill maher fan. i love comedy. i think he's an incredibly bright man. so that's why it's not that my feelings got hurt. no. my feelings have been hurt because like you, i was raised in that environment like i just said, i was a kid of pbs. so my mother raised me a certain not to not be black but to try to take in as much as i can. i'm a man of the world. i'm not just a man of my hood. i carry that with me, but i've been all over the world, and i want to be an example to any other kid that wants to do that. that's why i stood up to that. i wish i didn't have to because at the end of the day -- >> i understand. >> -- i just want to laugh and make people have a good time and give away cars and make stuff up. >> i do understand that. wayne, we will just cheer you on always on "let's make a deal." >> yes. >> you have your game-winning face on. so when they call "and the winner is" -- >> that's what i've been

practicing in the last few years which is fun, so i've got this face. >> yeah. >> it's an honor just to be -- >> and then as soon as the camera's off. >> it's an honor to be nominated. >> it's an honor to be nominated. >> it's always an honor. >> wayne brady, we thank you. you can see "let's make a deal" weekdays here on cbs. check your local listings for that. and "whose line is it anyway" premieres on the cw network which is owned by cbs. and wayne brady told us before he left that that's the last time he's going to address the comment "is he black enough or not?" let it be known according to brady, he's a plaque man, very proud of it and he's sick of all the discussion. >> good for him. >> we get it. we get it. coming up, we'll look back at charlie's interview with the late, great liberace. there's a new movie about t

how important is the surprises and new innovations in my presentation. >> that was liberace back in 1985 on our old program "nightwatch." michael douglas has taken on the role of the famed pea 'no player "behind the candelabra." >> i get the biggest kick out of watching your old interview. do you go, i hate my hair? i hate my suit? that's what women do. >> >> no, i don't. >> i know you don't. i was only kidding you. matt damon plays scott doorsen.

>> that interview was 28 years ago. take a look back at the week that was. have a great memorial day. >> take it easy. i'm so scared i was characterizing, and whenever the police came up, i was like, oh, thank you. >> the weather data did confirm this was a top skail tornado. >> look what's happened. the entire roof of this house is gone. >> police say they're confident no one is missing or trapped in the rubble. >> we visited plaza towers. you literally couldn't recognize it. the damage, you couldn't tell it was a school building. >> were you scared? >> mm-hmm. >> what were you thinking? >> about my mom. >> there are many hoping that this tragedy will spark a discussion about how to create safe rooms at moore school. >> i heard windows breaking and just a big flash of light really. >> the last words i heard my mom say was pray. >> you know what i mean? just to see that was

unbelievable. >> and you said $1 million is it, that's what i want to give. >> yeah, like i said, i'm blessed to even have that type of money. >> she is the official who ordered that these inappropriate criteria be changed. she's also accused by lawmakers of misleading them. as triferrorist investigati go, this one had plenty of leads. two suspects are alive and in custody. ♪ ♪ do the low commotion with me >> regis philbin, good morning to you. >> one more hour to go right here. >> not really. >> no. >> i was like, oh, i cannot believe we're here and i can't believe we're doing this. i was so proud of him. >> disdd you once describe your voice as a swamp critter? >> maybe. >> come on down. how many time as day do you hear

it? >> i hear it all the time and i also hear "the price is wrong." >> does it get old for you. >> >> no. i like it all the time. >> all that mattered. ♪ some loving care." >> john fogerty gave charlie rose a present. can we just show that? we like a guy who comes bearing gifts. ♪ >> i hollered for my little dog, and he didn't answer. >> everything's gone. >> all of euro baby stuff is gone. this is all i've got. >> give them big hugs. everything's okay sew we're going home. >> the dog. >> the dog. >> hi, puppy. >> oh. >> and all that mattered. >> i didn't know it was that important. i really and truly didn't. i just thank everybody.,,
